Antonius "Toon" Ebben , mostly shortened to Anton Ebben , (born December 22, 1930 in Tilburg , Netherlands ; † February 4, 2011 in 's-Graveland , Netherlands) was a Dutch show jumper.

Ebben played his first major tournaments in 1957. His first phase of success was in the 1960s, here he celebrated successes with Kairouan and contested the European Championships in 1966 in Lucerne with him. He celebrated the greatest successes of his career with his second successful horse, Jumbo Design .

Ebben played his first and only Olympic Games with the then seven-year-old gelding Jumbo Design . At the events in Montreal and Bromont he reached 12th place in the team classification and 25th place in the individual classification.

The most successful championships of his career were the European Show Jumping Championships in 1977 in Vienna. Here, again with Jumbo Design , he won gold with the Dutch team and the bronze medal in the individual standings. A year later, at the World Championships in Aachen , he won team silver with Jumbo Design as part of the Dutch team (16th place in the individual ranking). In his career he was the Dutch jumping champion several times.

In 1986 he ended his active riding career. He died in early 2011 after a long illness.
